Napoleon Dynamite: Are they still letting you run for secretary?
Sara: Yes. I don’t understand… they say you’re not allowed to have pinatas that look like real people, but in Marin, we do it all the time.

Hasselhoff used to be GOOD LOOKING!!!
May 9, 2006 at 4:46 am
zany clearly runs in the family! love your creative touch!

….I’m glad that Iva explained that this was a campaign poster of some kind. Otherwise….it’s quite obscure….inexplicable actually….weebledad
May 9, 2006 at 5:59 am
i’m afraid this affinity for obsurity is hereditary.
May 10, 2006 at 1:06 am
Who is this “weebledad”?
..My posters need no explanation.
May 10, 2006 at 1:19 am
I believe Weebledad might actually be a grade 9 teacher. Maybe he could grade your campaign efforts.
May 10, 2006 at 1:39 am
Hey! Nothing is spelt wrong!
And if I win, then the posters have served their purpose and it doesn’t matter if they are “obscure” or “inexplicable”.
May 10, 2006 at 2:50 am
WHO IS THIS CANADIAN WEEBLEDAD??? He’s clearly not an OBSCURE FAMILY member?? heheee!!! And, BTW, how old is this WEEBLEDAD??
May 10, 2006 at 2:58 am
THE ABOVE COMMENT IS ME, NOT SARA!
aka I can’t figure out how to delete that comment…..
May 10, 2006 at 2:59 am
Weebledad is just jealous that he will never be as good-looking as David Hasselhoff…
May 10, 2006 at 3:06 am
Iva, doesn’t Hasselhoff remind you of Marina Del Rey??
May 10, 2006 at 3:06 am
Wasn’t that Nathan Hasselhoff??? heheehe!!
May 10, 2006 at 3:07 am
Memories….
May 10, 2006 at 3:08 am
1981…your first trip to Marina Del Rey!!!
May 10, 2006 at 3:16 am
99 views??
May 10, 2006 at 4:29 pm
weebledad actually remembers when David Hasselhoff was famous and on TV the first time.
May 11, 2006 at 2:12 am
Ewwwww your’re THAT old, Weebledad???
May 11, 2006 at 2:13 am
Weebledad….does that mean you are the SAME age as Hasselhoff??
May 11, 2006 at 2:16 am
Weebledad…which T.V. show made him famous besides BABE WATCH??…or was it, BAY WATCH!!??
May 11, 2006 at 3:40 am
The earlier show which made Mr. Hasselhoff famous was….
Knight Rider.
weebledad checked using Google and, thankfully, he is not quite as old as David Hasselhoff. weebledad thinks (though his memory is quite poor) that he was actually in Grade 9 when Knight Rider came out. He didn’t make any posters of himself dressed as a pinata, though.
uh-oh! weebledad has to go and tend to his older weeble. weeblemum is out.
May 12, 2006 at 1:52 am
That would make you about…39??
When I’m 39, you’ll be 64
And the last part of your comment sounds kinda perverted. :/
And oh, did I forget to say that I’m the new SECRETARY??!?!?!
If you want to win an election, all you need to do is dress like a pinata.
May 12, 2006 at 2:36 am
….mind you, when I graduated from college (the first time anyway), you must have been around…. minus 2 and a bit. And you missed the (first) moon landing and some really good powder skiing in the interim. With global warming, you may never see the latter in your lifetime. 8-(
Congrats on your new appointment, perhaps you have a career ahead of you in politics? I will try dressing as a pinata when I ask for a raise next time – it seems like a good strategy.

weeble
A wobbly (but unfallydowny) toy from back in the day. (Actually, it originated in the 70′s, which is well before MY ‘back in the day,’ but I can pretend to be cool and know what I’m talking about.) (And anyway, Playskool still makes incarnarnations of the darn things.)
While I never had Hasbro’s brand name Weebles, I did play with a DIY version my uncle made for me. It involved a purple plastic easter egg (you know, the kind you get three jelly beans in) with a penny taped inside the bottom half and a rather frightening face drawn on in Sharpie. Basically, like the actual Weeble, you could bat it around and it would always right itself. It wasn’t that far off from the real thing, either.
Being a somewhat belligerent child, I took the slogan as a personal affront, and spent many hours (well, at least twenty minutes] trying to devise ways to MAKE THE DARN THING STAY TIPPED OVER. Gluing it to the table might have worked, but I was caught before the elmer’s had set. Would that I were still so carefree!
Admittedly not a hugely challenging idea for a toy, but hey.
Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down!
Distracted Father: *calling from the next room* Janie? Janie, did you take my superglue?
Slightly Creepy Child: *loudly and sweetly* No, Daddy!
Distracted Father: Huh. *goes to the basement to check his toolbox for the fourth time*
Slightly Creepy Child: *stashes tube of epoxy, glaring at newly-inverted Weeble the entire time* Take that, you demonic ovoid spawn of hell.
-or-
Weeble
Friend. Hommie. A survivor in the game.
Originating from a Nor*Cal Bay Area saying in reference to the big quake.
“We may weeble, we may woble, but we don’t fall down.”
Sup my weebles.
weeble
one who is bottom heavy: ie. large butt
She weebled into the room
…..
So which one are you, Weebledad?
I don’t think you are a fellow Nor*Cal Bay-arian, and unless you have a big arse, you must be definition one. Do you have underlying issues from your childhood that you have carried on to adulthood? Poor Weebledad
May 16, 2006 at 3:17 am
or…..
Weeble
also known as weed or marijuana.
need i say more?
May 16, 2006 at 4:12 am
“And anyway, Playskool still makes incarnarnations of the darn things.”
No way, really!!??! Where can I buy them? Are they still called “weebles?”
“Being a somewhat belligerent child….”
No way, really!!??!
I enjoyed your rather extensive treatise on weebles but….I think you’re over-analysing my choice of nom de plume. (Have you considered a career in psychology or at least the liberal arts? I thought that some people would easily figure out who this was. I think your mischievous aunt already has!

Wait…so you are actually someone I know?
…
Colin.
This all totally makes sense now.
And I’m gonna be a detective or Lara Croft.
May 17, 2006 at 5:52 am
“Wait…so you are actually someone I know?”
well, not exactly.
“Colin.”
Nope – sorry. Guess again!
“And I’m gonna be a detective or Lara Croft.”
Yes – it’s quite possible you could end up being both! Wait – don’t you need a slightly snotty English background for the latter, though? Hold on, that would qualify me!
May 18, 2006 at 11:41 pm
Woops, that comment was me, not my momma.
Are you that guy Iva dated a few years back?
I believe his name was Simon…….
We watched James and the Giant Peach together!
Or
If I don’t know you, how can I guess who you are?
May 19, 2006 at 1:27 am
“Woops, that comment was me, not my momma.”
It’s hard to tell who’s who around here.
“Are you that guy Iva dated a few years back?
I believe his name was Simon…….”
I thought Simon was a cat? And no to that one as well!
“If I don’t know you, how can I guess who you are?”
I’ve actually met you once very briefly.
May 19, 2006 at 3:37 am
Two words:
New Years?
…

May 19, 2006 at 4:29 am
Yes. Impressive. Maybe you could be Lara Croft someday!
May 19, 2006 at 4:07 pm
I have to say, I’m impressed with the detective work.

I had my first job as secretary thursday morning.
It was soo exciting.
